MoodMission; Exploring the HoleLens

Speakers

While the number of health and well-being apps are increasing, few mental health apps combine evidence-based interventions with good design elements. A lot of mobile users and mental health consumers also ask for subclinical help - support below the threshold of needing to see a psychologist or other mental health processional. MoodMission aims to be an evidence-based tool for these users, helping people discover new and better ways of coping with low moods and anxiety.

Lars Klint (https://twitter.com/larsklint) ( http://larsklint.com ): Holographic Programming – Exploring the HoloLens

Virtual reality and augmented reality are terms most developers and technical enthusiasts recognize. What about “Mixed reality”? A reality that is part real world, part digital world, a reality that is enhanced with Holograms. Microsoft’s HoloLens introduces users to an entirely new way of thinking about computing. Learn how to use the Holographic Development Kit (HDK) to build completely new experiences that will blow your mind (only figuratively, I hope), and get a sense for what is possible. You will be challenged to think of how to solve problems in an entirely new way that leverage holographic projections, to provide intuitive natural interactions with the digital world.
